-
Hiranyakashyapu was a very powerful devil-king,
who thought of himself as the Lord, and hated
Lord Vishnu.
-
But his son Prahlad was a very noble child,
who worshipped Lord Vishnu, all the time.

-
So, the cruel devil Hiranyakashyapu wanted to
kill little Prahlad. But failed every time he
tried.
-
As Prahlad kept chanting the name of the Lord
all the time, the Lord protected him.
-
One day, Hiranyakashyapu asked his sister Holika,
who had the boon to never be burnt.
-
So the King asked Holika to sit in the centre
of a bonfire with Prahlad on her lap, so that
the fire could burn him.
-
The bonfire was lit, and young Prahlad sat in
Holika's lap, in its centre, praying to Lord
Vishnu.
-
The Lord saved Prahlad, leaving him untouched
by the flames.
-
But Holika was burnt to ashes.

Celebration:
Holi is Coming! Holi is Coming! ..on 6th March.
The
festival of Holi begins on Duwadashi - on the
twelfth day of the waxing moon of the month of
Phalgun.
Lord Krishna, loved festivity. He ran around with
his band of cowherds and maidens of the village
in his childhood and youth.
The hamlets of Brindavan, Gokul and Barsana were
full of fun and frolic. Lord Krishna played Holi
with much gust. He played pranks on the Gopis.
They colored each other with Gulal made up of
numerous colours such as pink, magenta, red, yellow
and green along with Abeer (small crystals or
paper-like chips of mica). The one Krishna colored
the most was his childhood sweetheart Radhika,
who lived in Barsana.
GET READY
with 'pichkaris' (long syringes).
GET SET
with water balloons.
And GO…OO……OO! |
